Earl Sweatshirt has revealed his new track ‘Whoa’ online. Scroll down to hear the song and watch the video below.

‘Whoa’ is the latest track to be heard from Sweatshirt’s forthcoming album ‘Doris’ and follows the song ‘Chum’, revealed in late 2012. The video sees Earl team up with his Odd Future co-hort Tyler, The Creator for a grimy take on life in a trailer park. The video was directed by Tyler, under his Wolf Haley name, and features all of Odd Future as well as Trash Talk frontman Lee Spielman.

Earlier this year Earl Sweathshirt played a number of new songs live as a special guest of producer Flying Lotus at his LA club, Low End Theory. The rapper dropped three new songs titled ‘Burgundy’, ‘Hive,’ and ‘Guild’, on the night. ‘Burgandy’ – he reveals in the footage, was produced by Pharrell Williams.

Earlier this year Earl Sweatshirt signed a deal with Columbia Records/Sony to have his own record label imprint, called Tan Cressida, on which ‘Doris’ will be released.

Of the follow-up to his 2010 debut, ‘Earl’, the teenager rapper has said: “I anticipate a loss of fans. I also anticipate gaining some. So. You know. Yeah… I hope i lose you as a fan if you only fuck with me cause i rapped about raping girls when i was 15… I fucking love how it sounds. And uhh. Thats what matters… Im gonna go out on a limb and say that you can hear the progression.”
